Monday of Audiobook Week 2013

June is Audiobook Month and this week is Audiobook Week!


Jen from Devourer of Books set up Audiobook Week 2013. (Thank you, Jen!) Today, she asked bloggers about their audiobook year - new books, new discoveries, favorite titles, new places, etc. I started documenting my audiobooks a couple years ago, so I won't rehash old blog posts. (If you want to dive into history, here is Year One and Year Two.)

My newest discovery is a feature in my new car - a CD changer! My old car had a CD changer and I was sad to see it go, because it made listening to audiobooks quick and easy. I could listen to a couple of short fiction books or a complete book in one load. During my commute to work or a road trip, the story moved swiftly between discs without worrying about stopping and starting as often without a changer. When I purchased my new car, I knew the sound system was fantastic, but I never realized it had a CD changer until a week or so after owning the car. It was a very good day when I found that feature!

How do you like to listen to audiobooks? Do you prefer a book on CD or MP3 files on a player?

Happy Listening, Friends!

  1. I've actually always listened to the digital audio copy - never the CDs. It's awesome for portability.

  2. A CD changer is quite awesome, especially for library borrows. I like instant downloads on my phone though.

  3. I mostly listen to mp3s on my phone so that I can seamlessly go from car to house. I actually have a 6 disc changer in my car and I don't think I've ever had more than one in there in four years.

    1. I've used that method for a couple of my books. It's really nice to keep the story going, especially when it hits a high point!

  4. The only CDs I listen to these days are review copies, everything else I download to my iPhone.
